International hit show “Menopause the Musical” is coming to Salem for two performances. Writer Jeanie Linders’ inspiration for the show, which is a comical look into the stages of menopause, came from “a hot flash and a bottle of wine.” Set in a department store, it is a musical parody featuring classic pop tunes from the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s, 7:30 p.m. tonight and Friday, Historic Elsinore Theatre, 170 High St. SE. $37 to $52.
